Crafted to deliver the ultimate playing experience, the Next Generation Builder's Edition K24ce blends premium tonewoods and innovative design features that enhance tone, feel and performance. Solid figured Hawaiian koa forms the back, sides and top of this gorgeous Grand Auditorium, yielding a bold, articulate midrange and splashy, refined trebles. Scalloped V-Class interior bracing ensures warmer lows and louder projection, while maintaining the sustain and pitch accuracy of our foundational V-Class design. Koa is also famous for its aging properties and will open up with play over time to reveal greater depth and sweetness.
Comfort-enhancing features include an armrest, beveled cutaway, and chamfered body and fretboard edges. An array of paua details—including a single-ring rosette, Spring Vine inlays and body trim—are enriched by a gloss-body finish and hand-sprayed Kona Burst. With Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls, the onboard Claria pickup system makes it easier for players to shape their amplified sound for a wide variety of live performance settings.

Grand Auditorium
This flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Hawaiian Koa
As a hardwood, koa produces a focused midrange and features a natural built-in compression that levels out the response. Warmth and overtones emerge over time and play.
Action Control Neck
Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
The Claria Acoustic Pickup System
Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria™ System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting.
Beveled Cutaway
Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.
